No you had to bring in several professors because you could not comprehend what I said. Furthermore, this does not seem like your style of writing so I am sure you either got them to give you tips, or flat out told them to write this for you. Hahahaha! If you could not understand the simple words and phrases I used, I know good and well you had no idea what enigmatology meant before today. HOWEVER, I will not hold that against you. You misquoted me on several things because you failed to read all of what I said, for example, I said you should be using the list of weapons I gave for Emergency Enemy clearing. However yes, your special is absolutely for speed clearing as well. Why on earth would you waste time on a hoard with an ill-equipped primary when, as you pointed out, YOU CAN USE A WITHERHOARD or some other special to take them all out in a single shot. Your writer contradicted you there. A Non-Explosive Round, Non-Armor Piercing, Non-Firefly scout or sniper is NEVER going to clear a room faster (or at the distance and still maintain decent damage **E.R. only**) than one with. But I tell you what, if you need proof, we can run a few falls together and see just how much my ways work better. I have seen a many Raiders in passing. Just because you play endgame and have enough skill to force something to work, does not mean what you are using is the best for the job. 'Initial D' tells a great story about that. A laughably inaccurate show about a boys skill being so incredibly high he uses a modified skateboard with doors to beat everything from overly modded monsters to V8 race specified cars. You seem like you might be into Anime. Your characters are a perfect example of this. Your Main is the only character headed in the right direction, your Hunter and your Titan are built backwards.... Hunters make the most of Mountain Tops, while a Perfected Militia's Birthright is made the most of by a War Witch/lock. As you said a Raid is where Elemental damage count. I am obsessed with Elemental balance because is a very important game mechanic. My tactics have saved a many friends last minute with a well timed shield detonation, knocking enemies back, clearing the immediate area, and allowing them to excape. I am not sure where you are looking to NOT see the damage a matched elemental shied detonation does, (considering even in a stage where you are beyond under a suitable light level repeated shield detonations can kill very large targets with minimal ammunition usage), but I suggest you open your eyes. I do not believe a sniper rifle can pierce without the perk. If it could, that would be stupid. I believe they would REMOVE the Armor Piercing perk, like they did with Fusion Rifles if they were going to make piercing a natural ability. Still, if that is what is happening, it is not the first time a glitch has jumped up and did creepy dance of mischief. As for the Times to kill... Not an idiot worth their salt pays attention to that, because it is PURE chance. Time to kill basically only applies if you and your target are standing still or one of you are so terrible, they cannot dodge a single shot. Hahahaha! Ask a Jotunn user. Jotunn is so slow, it should NEVER land a kill, YET, it seems to be doing alright to the point people cry NONSTOP over anyone using it in Crucible. Sweet Business is the WORST Autorifle in the game for time to kill. It is bad enough that nobody really uses it anymore, but I will happily add even pros in Trials to my 40,000 plus kills with it, you too if you let me. And by let I mean get in my way. Finally, this is not a thesis. I am typing like I talk on purpose. It is called style. The way your friend wrote that for you almost put me to sleep... Add some flare to captivate your reader. I think how you addressed my comedy was "Very-very Nasty--" indeed. I think you have asked "Very-very Nasty Questions--" You are being "Very-very Nasty--" Also you are buying into "Fake News--" when it comes to what you are pitching to your fellow Guardians And that is a "Very-Very Nasty, Very HORRIBLE, Nasty-Nasty thing to do."
